Greg Knaddison

Greg (drupal.org user greggles) graduated from the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School and then quickly moved back to lovely Colorado. After doing database analysis and intranet development projects for Arthur Andersen and PricewaterhouseCoopers he moved to a boutique software firm working in the same telecommunications industry.

That mix of experience -- highly organized and professional experience in the consulting world to a more formal software development startup in Broomfield -- has provided him with a broad background and experience in the many varied stages of software creation and implementation. At the same time, his personal technology interest in Open Source software has grown from a single home Linux server to the use and involvement in a number of Open Source projects.

Greg got involved in Drupal after being the "webmaster" for his neighborhood organization. Rather than putting content online himself, Greg realized that with a system like Drupal the neighborhood members could put their content online directly.

Involvement in Drupal Project

Greg started using Drupal over 3 years ago, quickly jumping in with both feet. Since then he has become more and more involved in the project:

1. Helps maintain the project webservers as a member of the drupal.org Site Maintainers and infrastructure teams.
2. Member of the Security Team which led to various presentations about security in Drupal and writing a book about Drupal security
3. Volunteer time and advice as a member of the Drupal Association General Assembly
4. Founded and help coordinate the Denver/Boulder Drupal User Group
5. Present about Drupal to various groups (Colorado Linux Users and Enthusiasts and the CU Denver Association for Computing Machinery
6. On DrupalDashboard.com - Greg keeps track of every new module and change to the Drupal code base highlighting the most important items. This keeps him informed about changes to Drupal and assists others in the community to get just the news they need.
7. Develops and maintains many popular modules (and some obscure ones). See Greg's blog post "modules I have developed and maintained" for details.

Greg is Certified to Rock Level 6.

Greg loves Drupal and his GVS teammates. He hopes you will take the time to get to know and love them as well.
